According to the New York Post, several of Manning’s intercepted (ha!) emails were filed on Tuesday in Bergen County (N.J.) Superior Court by three memorabilia collectors who are suing Manning, the Giants and Steiner Sports, among others.

The legal filing also alleges that Big Blue failed to produce the Manning-Skiba emails — between the athlete’s old-school AOL account and an official NFL account — even though “they claim to have no document destruction policy.”

Two of the alleged emails:

“2 helmets that can pass as game used. That is it. Eli,” Manning wrote to equipment manager Joe Skiba from a BlackBerry on April 27, 2010, according to the documents.

Less than 20 minutes later, Manning wrote to his marketing agent, Alan Zucker, who requested the helmets, saying: “Should be able to get them for tomorrow.”

If Eli is indeed guilty of passing off used locker room crap as game-worn memorabilia, it’s both the most boring scandal in NFL history and embarrassing as hell. Eli Manning has an AOL account? Hahahaha.

So the charge is that Manning teammed with a Giants equipment manager to sell fake memorabilia, then cover it up by deleting emails. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with Goodell.
